"This resource uses a well-established format to present the facts about alcohol. It uses pictures and figures alongside clear explanations to outline its core message. I liked the partnership with the specialist charity Drinkaware and the commitment to user involvement is evident. The tone of the resource is well-judged: it acknowledges the appeal of drinking alcohol but outlines its dangers without ‘nagging or moralising’. The tips are practical and useful."
